Russell Brand - Forgetting Sarah Marshall Audition Tape

"Just improv the scene" So you want him to write the scene? Did he get a writing credit?

BRILLIANT!

My God, Hollywood people are vile. 

After this audition- the storywriters, producers and scriptwriters changed the entire character and part of the story because they fell so in love with the personality of the character he auditioned with- and he auditioned by playing the character as himself. <3 

Can't stand this guy.  I've seen his stand up.  He's not funny.  He's not talented.  You can't understand half of what he says.  I don't see HOW this guy get's work.

This movie turned out to be a FLOP at the boxoffice.

It's enthralling and eye opening to watch such genius in action.  Thanks for posting!

Russell Brand is a comic genius

AnND that is improv right there

Russell Brand is a FUCKING BEAST lol

I'm sickened by Egyptian sheets lmao

this guy is so fng funny, my GOD I love him hahahahaa xD

this dude is undeniable.

well let's combine the two haha

This entire roll was improv.

Wow, I had a good laugh, 🤣🤣💗

This is basically the way he convinced women into bed in the good old days of rusty rockets.

Looks like he came straight from big brother

Dude is literally a genius, he is up there with the best when it comes to improv. I always appreciated Russel's quick wit an intellect, he truly is a very intelligent and learned human being.

Pretty sure u can here jason segel laughing in the back bless🤣

Wow... he's really incredible at improv!

he is soo persuasive and he does it while being very polite - ridiculous - I wish I could do that

This can be seen on any one night of ‘big brothers bit on the side’ 😄

Omg he is so fucking incredibly talented and intelligent.

All that learned language and inuendo and didnt mention barebacking!

for a comedian of his calibre this audition was clearly a walk in the park

It's easy to see why he got the gig.

I absolutely love "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" one of my faves! So, did Russel Brand end up getting the role?

So he is a genious....

'I don't know what orifice you would use' that's hilarious

"I'm sickened by Egyptian sheets. They can't get enough. Pyramids, sphynxes, what do they want? Now sheets?"

Crazy brilliant.

That is cool

Can you start on Monday?

they should have just had him improvise the whole film instead of working from a script. these audition tapes are better than any scripted film he has been in.

That actress was on the verge of going horseback riding, her protestations sounded hollow and insincere!

Hahaha legend 🙌

I just know he was AMAZING in theatresports in high school

Genius

we all know why i came to watch this

Such a shame he wasted his clear talent and charisma by being a conspiracy-brained lunatic and an actual sexual predator

He is far too comfortable touching her. Scum bag.

Nailed it!!

That's impressive.

DANG!! Talk about knowing how to take notes! He definitely understood the assignment!

It’s amazing he just showed up dressed like that. Not for the audition, but because it was a Tuesday

Wow

This really is incredible.
